3. EVERGLADES: Review Problem 1L(S15)
EGRET IN MANGROVE SWAMP

4. Review Problem 1L: Short Problem (Overview)
BB owns “Panthers” (= major legue baseball team); owns & just opened new ballpark built with extensive gov’t cooperation/$$.
CC hosts local sports radio call-in show; has attacked gov’t role in getting stadium built. CC buys season tickets rather than using press passes to go to games at the ballpark.
For 1st game at new ballpark, CC wore shirt that said, “Panthers are Parasites.” BB officials let her in only after making her put a sweatshirt on over the protest shirt. Once inside, CC removed the sweatshirt. TV coverage repeatedly showed the protest shirt.
BB refuses to let her back into the stadium wearing a protest shirt.

5. Review Problem 1L: Short Problem (General Points)
Based on actual behavior of Marlin’s management (typically & stupidly) excluding protestors during first year new stadium was open.
Lots of 2016 students wrote very one-sided answers (about evenly split in support of each party).

6. Review Problem 1L: Short Problem (Everglades)
Schmid Test (P90) (1st Two Prongs)
Normal Use of Private Property in Q
(2) Extent & Nature of [Public] Invitation
Schmid creates separate prongs, but JMB addresses together. WHY?
In Schmid, the private property at Princeton had “normal use” (as college campus) separate from public invitation to speaker events.
In JMB, the areas open to the public at malls really have no “normal use” separate from what public was invited to do there. [Same likely true of ballpark.]

7. Review Problem 1L: Short Problem (Everglades)
Schmid Test (P90) (1st Two Prongs)
Normal Use of Private Property in Q
(2) Extent & Nature of [Public] Invitation
Ballparks have areas not open to public (field, offices, locker rooms) and sometimes are used for graduations, Papal visits, Adele concerts, etc. However, your focus should be on access sought here, which is
just for public areas
during professional baseball games.

Normal Use of Private Property in Q
(2) Extent & Nature of [Public] Invitation (Not just who was invited, but what they are invited to do at the stadium)

9. Review Problem 1L: Short Problem (Everglades)
Schmid Test (P90) (Third Prong)
(3) “[P]urpose of the expressional activity … in relation to both the public & private use of the property”
This factor: “examines the compatibility of the free speech sought with the uses of the property.”
JMB seems to focus on whether speech causes objective harm to existing uses.

First Amendment Activities Generally?
T-Shirts with Messages?

11. Review Problem 1L: Short Problem (Everglades)
Other Ways to Approach Problem
JMB Applying Schmid : Discuss Partes’ Interests
What Harm(s) to BB Might Arise from T-Shirts with Messages During Games Generally? From CC Wearing Her Protest Shirt? How Substantial are These Harms Likely to Be?
How Important to Speakers Effectively Getting Their Messages to the Public is Free Speech Activity at Ballparks During Games? How Important to CC in Particular?

12. Review Problem 1L: Short Problem (Everglades)
Other Ways to Approach Problem
Interesting Q you could address briefly in a concluding ¶: What to do If neither party’s interests are very strong? Reasonable student suggestions as to default position:
Importance of Right to Exclude  Default = No Access
Significant Public Funding  Default = Access
Could Also Discuss Significant Similarities/Differences from Facts of JMB/Schmid (I’ll leave for you).

14. BADLANDS: Review Problem 1M (S16)
NORBECK PASS

15. Review Problem 1M: Lawyering Overview
Client M owns Mall
Tenant ES = outlet store for co. accused of using sweatshop labor overseas
Prior O allowed protestors to hand out leaflets (w these accusations) near ES store.
ES complains protestors drive away customers.
M wants to know if she can “do more to satisfy” ES.

16. Review Problem 1M: Overview
M wants to know if she can “do more to satisfy” ES.
Keep specific client request in mind
Two common problems in exam answers:
Qs going to whether M should drop ES as a tenant
Outside scope of request (can she help, not should she)
Could be relevant to different Q.
BUT really more business than legal (would need detailed cost & revenue info to do financial cost/benefit analysis)

17. Review Problem 1M: Overview
M wants to know if she can “do more to satisfy” ES.
Keep specific client request in mind
